Specifying the maxopenfiles parameter

The maxopenfile parameter specifies the number of files that RMAN can open concurrently per channel.

Procedure

To set the maxopenfiles parameter in an RMAN backup script, use the allocate channel or configure channel command. The following example uses the allocate channel command:
allocate channel c0 maxopenfiles = 1 device type sbt;
RMAN compares the value of the maxopenfiles parameter with the number of files in each backup set and uses the level of multiplexing as a minimum of two.
Set the maxopenfiles parameter to 1 to disable multiplexing, which increases data deduplication performance. Disabling RMAN multiplexing results in more time to back up Oracle data because RMAN reads a single file instead of multiple files simultaneously.
